He's right

[The suit contends that "it is clear that Google stole first and asked questions later."]

That is Google's mo. They take without asking and then deal with the lawsuits later.

On purpose perhaps?

Maybe they are just going through the motions of blocking to ward off the IRAA while not actually doing anything that will upset their users..

Who'd have thunk it?

Luckily this never happens when people own their software. Can't ever recall hearing about a software bug that affected thousands of businesses like this.....

A significant shift in the OEM's relationship with Microsoft?

Suuure.. MS are still selling Vista licenses. They are still keeping out the competition by locking in the customers to an MS operating system. And they still appear to be supporting Vista. Dell is doing their job for them - No shifting necessary.

IP spoofing

I can't wait until some bright spark spoofs the ip addresses of the rights holders and the isp's boards of directors.

Smartphone

That's funny.. All the fanbois would have a fit if you compared the iPhone to a smartphone before and just after it was released.

Barking up the wrong tree...

If you want to compare surfing to driving, then computers are no where near the standards of a car. A car has to be fit to drive on the roads. Cars are equipped with all sorts of safety devices. You don't have to pay a monthly subscription to make sure your car doors are locked. Your car won't crash for no reason. You don't need to update your car to run on newer roads. If you buy a new car it won't have a completely different layout. Being the 'administrator' of your car is not a security risk.

The Wii is for partys and women.. Two things you will never have.
